The Validity of the vandaIia Lease.


The suit to set aside the lease of the St
Louis, Vandalia & Terre Haute road to the
Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company
has taken on a new phase, that OF jurisdiction,
and both sides have asked Judges Gresham
and Allen to hear arguments the question,
and they have consented do, at early
day. In this it will be remembe red that
suit is brought by stockholders Of an Illinois
road instigated by the Pennsylvania Company,
against the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Rail-
road Company, whose entire line lies within the
State of Indiana. Some four weeks ago Judges
Gresham and Allen. ut Springfield, Ill, listened
to arguments to set aside the lease of the
st. L., V. & L. H to the T. III. q T. Railroad
Company, the grounds that the provisions of
the lease had not been fulfilled After listening
to the arguments the judges above named took
the matter under advisement, and pending their
decision the question of jurisdiction has been
sprung, and eminent legal authority is of the
opinion that the suit now brought will be
dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Recently a
case OF similar character came up before Judge
Sawyer. of the United States District Court Of
California. In this effort made to
set aside the lease of road in Nebraska to a
railroad company of an adjoining State and the
court decided that it had jurisdiction. and
that suit should have been brought in the State
of the lessor road.

Boston BUDGET, Ftb. q. ..
A curious case OF love at first sight oc-
cured in this city about tho year 1885,
which, for various REASONS, caused consid.
cradle comment. The aggressive party in
this affair was a young Clergyman residing
in an adjoining town, Of s1cellsnt family
and antecedente. Personally he was an
attractive man, OF fine figure, command
ing height, and fine features. Although
gentlemsnly, he vas inperiou1 and very
decided in his ways, Ono fine morning
he was sitting in q bafbsr's aaloon on th9
first floor OF a building near the head Of
Hanover street, andsubmittin1 to the tinal
manipu!ations Of the loqugcious barber,
when he espied tho .Ggure and face OF
q young lady before the window as she
VIA in the set Of looking ut somo a~rticley
OF display. Instantly heremarked "Please
hurry I'D, l wish to speak to that young
lady," He Dsized HIS white crayst, and
throwing it about his neck Bprang from
his chair, and grabbing his hat, without
stopping for his overcast, rushed out Of
the door, to the great astoniehment Of the
"%tonsorial artist" and down the street he
went full tilt. BY this time the lady had
nearly reached Elm street, where she
halted g moment to look at another win
dow, when she waa accosted by the tsll
young minister. His prepoasessing ap.
pearance and address evidently interested
Der, although both parties were total
strangers, and they walked slowly down
toward the North End, converting like old

first sight on both sides. He received per-
mission to call on her, aud in less than a
month they were married, and it proved a
happy marriage.
